Leena is a wonderful and friendly teacher who focuses a lot on comprehensible input which is very helpful and means we can spend the whole session in French. However, her understanding of other languages is helpful as it enables her to give very useful feedback comparing the French approach to my native language (English) which helps me to understand the underlying perspective rather than memorising facts or phrases. Likewise, she has a large vocabulary so is often able to help me learn synonyms or different ways of articulating myself which stick better in my brain by being connected to what I already know, and subjects that I am passionate about. I remember a lot more of what we've learned this way compared to >10 years learning French in a very structured grammar-focused manner. She also does a lot of work marking and providing feedback on exercises, so I feel much better prepared for my DALF exam. I would highly recommend her, especially for those sitting DELF/DALF exams!

Leena is an excellent person and teacher. My French lessons with her are fun and comprehensive. I never thought a one hour class could be so interesting. I am never tired and am constantly learning and pushing myself. I am learning more with Leena than I have ever learned in schools or with face to face private teachers. She makes French interesting and easy. She is patient and flexible to your needs. I think her true passion and efforts for teaching and learning languages really make a difference. If we all had the opportunity to find such a great teacher, we could all be multilingual! I cannot recommend her more! As bonus, you will not only learn a language but loads of interesting content! She really has a lot to offer!

Made extremely clear what I should focus on in order to improve based on my speaking patterns and thought process in the language.

Arabic lesson with Leena was very good. She pushed me to think about connections between words today. Really enjoyed the lesson!

I have taken many lessons with Leena. She is a wonderful teacher and full of kindness and wisdom.

A million thank you's to Prof. Leena for being the most caring and knowledgable guide for tajweed and Islamic studies <3 alhamdulillah!
